Photos/Video Of Nigeria Police Blocking Sen. Saraki's House

The lawlessness going on in Nigeria is shameful and alarming. The drama that ensued today at Lake Chad junction area of Abuja after police officers blocked the convoy of Senate President Bukola Saraki is indeed one of such stupidity.

This is happening after the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris yesterday asked Senate President Bukola Saraki to report at the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Force today.

The invitation, according to the IG, is in connection with the ongoing investigation of the Offa robbery in which many people died. But, to Saraki, it is all a “political game.”

According to the letter dated 23rd July, 2018 and signed by the IG, the Senate President is expected to report to the head of the IRT team by 8am.

The Police said the invitation was imperative, considering the earlier statement sent in by the Senate President.

Police vehicles and officers blocked the entry and exit routes to the Lake Chad residence of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, there by preventing him from attending to the invitation of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris at 8am today.

It was gathered that Saraki's convoy hit the road around 6:58am on Tuesday morning to honour the police invite but was left stranded as the officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force have refused him passage.
